This camera made my life amazing! I must say it is no less than a DSLR. I've taken like over a thousand photos and the results are extraordinary! Love you Nikon S6000.

Love Love Love me some Nikon!
I have spent the last 15 years using a Nikon FM10 (fully manual 35mm) and not only has it outlasted any other camer I have ever seen, it also performs like a champ and takes exceptional pictures! When I took the plunge to digital, I did A LOT of research on what the best camera for me would be. I decided on the Coolpix S6000. I couldn't be happier with my choice. Thank you Nikon for never ceasing to amaze me :)

The BEST camera!
My husband bought me this camera about 9 months ago! I wanted a smaller camera to have on the go since we had a newborn! This camera is honestly the best camera I have ever had! It is great for capturing those special moments with our little one, holidays, weddings, get togethers and everything in between! I recommend this camera for everyone!

love it
the shutter speed is fast, and it has all these scene modes you can quickly choose.

Is there a default print size that the camera is formatted for?
I recently had some 4x6 prints that seemed to be crops of the entire photo, as though 5x7 would have shown the entire captured image.

You can use the USB cable and charge your computer through the computer. Please see page # 136 of the user's manual for the s61000. Also, you can get a new charger at the Nikon Store.
Whenever I record HD videos (720p) on the Coolpix S6000 they play back fine on the camera, but they are very jumpy when I import them to the computer. The audio is still clear. The picture looks like it's jumping every 2 to 3 seconds or so. How do I fix this?

camera powers off intermittantly and doesnt always come back on
7 month old nikon s6000 (got for christmas 2010) the camera was fully charged, and we went to a bbq and when I tried to take a picture, the camera turned on, the lens came out, then the lens went back in, and it wouldnt turn back on. I put it back on the charger, and left it overnight, (thinking the battery would cycle like a cordless drill battery) and the next day i tested it, turned it on, took a picture, then turned it back off, then later that day alot of family from far away and us all met at the monterey bay aquarium I tried to turn it on and it wouldnt. so i have no pictures from any of these get togethers, completely upset, i hadnt used it in a month, until i charged it last night, and today, I tested it again, and it worked, so we drove 3 hours and at a birthday party, and i turned it on, and it took about 10 pictures then it closed up. I turned it back on, took about 10 more pictures, and it closed up again.. completely random. completely weird.
this is not my first nikon, but it is my first nikon point and shoot, and this is really becoming frusterating.
help would be appreciated.

My camera wont turn on, Plug camera into computer and green light around power button goes on and off. Is my camera broke?
I was using my camera and all of a sudden it locked up and powered down with lens open and everything! It wont turn on and i get nothing. I can plug the camera into my computer and the power button lights up and the green light on back of camera will flash but wont do anything else. It will do that for couple secs and then power down and up in a cycle over and over. The battery is fully charged. I am guessing I will have to send in for warranty! Any suggestions?

I need a camera that will embed the time and date on the actual photo and print it this way. I have found a few but it will only work with the lowest "postcard" setting or with the stock software package. Can you direct me to a camera in the $ 200.00 range that will do this?

I've fully charged the battery using the wall plug adaptor, but when I turn the camera on it automatically turns off within a matter of seconds. I've used this method of charging the battery before without any problems. The camera is only 1.5 years old. Do I need a new battery? Or is the camera dead?

Please see page # 100 of the user's manual for the COOLPIX s6000 regarding recording movies. Default settings is HD 720p.
I have been using my s6000 for a while without problems. I stopped using it for about 5 months and took it out to charge, and instead of a green blinking light, I got a red solid light. No charge. Unable to turn on. Nothing has changed with accessories. No damage, no water, have tried cleaning the battery contacts, have taken out the sd card... NOTHING. Computer does not recognize it either, nor does it give "new device found". Can not check menu as camera does not turn on. Do I need a new camera? I dont want to waste money on a new battery. I have even tried keeping it plugged in without battery and still get the solid red light.
